 (1 Customer Review)
On this charming holiday album, honey-throated crooner Chris Isaak lends his pipes to a host of Christmas classics, including twangy versions of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Let It Snow," "The Christmas Song," and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" (a duet with Stevie Nicks). Few contemporary vocalists have the chops to pull off both "White Christmas" and "Mele Kalikimaka" without danger of setting Bing Crosby spinning in his grave. Isaak--his voice as smooth as eggnog--manages the task, respectfully reinterpreting both songs as vintage country-pop carols. Isaak's originals sound like lost standards themselves. The heart-melting "Brightest Star" sets moving lyrics about a spiritual epiphany to a buttery ballad that would have been right at home on the 1964 Billboard charts, while the raucous country shuffle "Hey Santa" is almost worthy of the King (Elvis, that is) himself. Isaak's backing band provides tasteful accompaniment, with some shining slide guitar work by Hershel Yatovitz.

Chris Isaak Christmas album
 $11.69   
All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Ferry's first solo effort since the second breakup of Roxy Music is arguably his best, in part because it continues in the direction the band had been going. It's like AVALON, only more so.
Here, Ferry's lounge lizard affectations are writ large; the lyrical pose is all bruised romantic fatalism (say hello, "Slave to Love"), and the music fits ...
| | Laura Branigan Self Control CD (1984)
Chris Isaak Christmas CD music
$5.95 
Laura Branigan's third album capitalized on the Euro-dance-pop and affecting ballads that made her an international star while allowing her to grow as a vocalist. Her collections, always uneven in terms of material, benefit mostly from her stellar voice, and this is no exception."The Lucky One" and "Heart" start slow and build to a crescendo, perfectly showcasing her range without being obvious. The title track, about finding sex in the seamy side of town, sparked a bit of a controversy, but ended up being her second biggest hit. The song itself works, but Branigan ...

Chris Isaak Christmas album
$5.95
Though this was Rick Springfield's ninth album, it seemed like the third to most pop music fans, as it came on the heels of his breakthrough, Working Class Dog, and its successful follow-up, Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet. And though this contained as many hits as the aforementioned collections, it isn't remembered as quite the same in terms of accomplishment; this may be because it is so personal that it's ...

Chris Isaak Christmas music CDs
$17.09
An Evening of Piano Jazz features Dick Clark's musical artistry demonstrating his high intensity, passionate performance style. This album was recorded live in a sold out concert held at the Sea Ranch Club in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on April 10th of 2005. The performance was dedicated to his two most admired jazz pianists, Oscar Peterson and Gene Harris.Musicians say that Dick's a "cookin jazz pianist who performs with tremendous energy clearly showing the influence of both Peterson and Harris." Former Count Basie drummer and jazz great, Duffy Jackson says that Dick "just digs in and finds that groove!"Probably the most unique aspect of this performance is the fact that Dick performed all of the tracks on the album himself. He pre-recorded the bass, guitar, strings, and drum fill tracks prior to the concert on his Kawai Digital Grand Piano and performed the piano tracks live. People were amazed how Dick was able to achieve such a swinging, on top of the beat ...
